One Major League Soccer playoff appearance in their six season existence has left Philadelphia Union fans hungry for more, much more. Despite two consecutive runner-up performances in the US Open Cup, the Union have underachieved mightily since their first MLS game in 2010. From shaky goalkeepers to allegedly abusive managers, and even a stint from former US wunderkind-come-bust Freddy Adu, the Union have seen a lot in their short time.

Despite two consecutive runner-up performances in the US Open Cup, the Union have underachieved mightily since their first MLS game in 2010. From shaky goalkeepers to allegedly abusive managers, and even a stint from former US wunderkind-come-bust Freddy Adu, the Union have seen a lot in their short time.

Quite wisely, Freddy Adu has decided against joining Sandecja Nowy Sacz after receiving a less-than-affectionate welcome from the Polish side their manager, specifically.

After hearing his team were taking Adu on trial, Sandecja bossRadosław Mroczkowski began by getting Adu's name wrong before vehemently stating that he didn't want to work with the former MLS starlet and that the 28-year-old wouldn't be allowed to train with the first team.

No country produces a never ending stream of star players. Even South American giants like Argentina and Brazil have their fair share of "the next big thing" that turn out more dud than stud. On the one hand, we as fans deserve share of the blame for rushing to heap praise and feverishly clasp at the next young prospect.

Once touted as the 'new Pele' back in the mid-2000s, Ghanian-born US international Freddy Adu never quite lived up to all the hype. Indeed, his career is a harsh lesson in just how difficult it is for a feted young footballer to deal with the pressure and make it to the very top. From France to Brazil, Serbia to Finland, Adu's career is strewn with failed attempts to kickstart his career.

Touted to set the MLS on fire at the ridiculously young age of 14, Freddy Adu's subsequent senior career trajectory has seen him struggle to live up to the hype while trudging through a succession of short, unremarkable stints in Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Brazil, Serbia and the Finnish third tier.

In NASL action this weekend, two stalwarts of recent seasons face off in Minnesota while new standouts match up in Tampa Bay.

Perennial heavy-hitters in the New York Cosmos andMinnesota United FC will take the field on Saturday night with plenty on the line. Minnesota United has started to bounce back from an underwhelming opening display, but the Cosmos are now coming off a late breakdown on the road in Indy.

It was a bitter end to the year for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in 2015, as the team's late rally for the playoffs came to a halting stop on the last day of the regular season.

The side started hot, suffered a slump in the middle, and rounded back into form in the fall under new head coach and former player Stuart Campbell as the team's ownership made ambitious front office changes.

Tom Heinemann is a man with seven years of professional experience in American soccer, and that experience put the Ottawa Fury on the cusp of winning last year's NASL championship.Now, the goalscorer finds himself in Tampa Bay, starting anew with the Rowdies ahead of the 2016 season.

In his second season as a member of Fury FC, Heinemann scored four postseason goals in two games for the club, bringing them inches from The Championship trophy before falling to the New York Cosmos in the NASL finale.

Freddy Adu's late-season performances have earned the 26-year-old forward a new deal with the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Sports Illustrated reported on Tuesday that Adu had signed a new contract to remain with the Rowdies. The extension comes after the Rowdies optednot to exercise the option they held on Adu for the 2016season in favor of a reported multi-year deal.

Just in case you found yourself wondering what Freddy Adu was up to these days, we have some exciting news for you - not only is he still (for now) playing soccer professionally for the (for now) Tampa Bay Rowdies, but he's also pitching Hoover vacuums via his twitter account.

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers have lost the chance to control their own post-season destiny, giving the Tampa Bay Rowdies their own chance at the Soccer Bowl.

The Strikers went to Indianapolis with the expectation of three points and a chance to clinch the fourth and final playoff spot, but the Eleven pulled off their second upset in two weeks to deny the team from southern Florida.

Freddy Adu's career trajectory has gone off the rails in the past few years. The one-time American prodigy who was compared to the greats of the game at a young age has cycled through club after club all over the globe during the past eight years. Adu hasn't been capped for the US Men's National Team since 2011.

Adu hasn't been capped for the US Men's National Team since 2011.

The oft-traveled Freddy Adu will now take his talents to Florida's Sun Coast, where he'll reunite with Thomas Rongen and NASL's Tampa Bay Rowdies.

If you had Tampa Bay as Freddy Adu's latest stop after flaming out of Finland's Veikkausliiga, congratulations. While most people probably had the New York Cosmos as Adu's NASL destination, it was Thomas Rongen - Adu's USMNT U-20's mentor that was able to convince him to return to the United States and play for the Rowdies.

The Portland Timbers are set to begin preseason training and a very familiar face isamong those trying to push for a roster spot ahead of the 2017 season.

Freddy Adu will join the Timbers for preseason training, according to Stumptown Footy. The 27-year-old midfielder previously played under current Timbers head coach Caleb Porter while a member of the U.

The Rest

While Freddy Adu's search for a new team continues, he departs Poland confidant he made the right decision to walk away from his latest possibility.

The 28-year old American was recently on trial with Polish first-division newcomersSandecja Nowy Sacz, but quickly found that he was unwanted, at least by the team's manager Radoslaw Mroczkowski, reports Goal.

While there may be a few passing similarities, the differences are stark.

Garth Lagerwey had a front-row seat for the Freddy Adu unveiling. Literally. Back in 2004, Lagerwey was working for D.C. United's broadcast team. He was one of the many people shoving a microphone into the 14-year-old's face, asking him what it was like to become the poster child for a league that was still very much finding its way.
